Luciano Figueroa admits his failure to bag a goal since moving to Villarreal is beginning to worry him.

The Argentina international has made three appearances since his move from Mexican side&nbsp;Cruz Azul, but has yet to open his account in Spanish football.

"I am anxious because scoring goals is the most important thing for a striker during his career," he stated.

"When I arrived at Villarreal the team was needing goals to get away from the difficult situation in which it was.

"It's not good for a striker not to score so this is a situation that I want to change as soon as possible.

"My team-mates are doing everything they can to help me score but I haven't been able to yet and that's why I am anxious.

"I am calm because the team is doing things correctly. For one reason or another I haven't been able to score but I am sure that if I keep on working very hard, like until now, I will be able to score soon."
